Final Thought…
With the winter surf season upon us, I thought I would share a bit of surf trivia with you on this Aloha Friday.
Whether you’re in Waikīkī or Waimea Bay, you may’ve noticed that waves come in what surfers call, sets. On most days, not counting storms or wind-blown chop, each set can have three to 15 waves, sometimes more. Surfers often wait for the biggest wave of the set but it’s always guessing game…or is it?
The first wave of a set is usually small, the next one is bigger and then the energy changes. As waves in the back of a set move forward, they grow in size and then diminish as they reach the front. As a result, surfers tend to notice that the fifth or seventh wave is often the biggest of each set, then they tend to get smaller and smaller before there is a lull.
So…the next time you’re surfing out at Waikīkī, (don’t even think about Waimea Bay) remember to stay patient - because the big one is on its way!
